Connecting hp deskjet 2540 all in one

How do I connect my go desckjet 2540 all in one to my iPad and iphone?

Hi @Krissy13 
Welcome to the HP Forums. I would be happy to help you get your Deskjet 2540 onto your network. I use this method for iPads, iPhones and other devices that do not have software.
Restore the network defaults on the printer by pushing the wireless button, going to settings, and then restore defaults. The wireless button should then start flashing, this means it is now in autowireless mode.
Connect your iPad to the network that the printer is broadcasting. It is usually HP-setup-2540 and then part of the MAC address (printers hardware address). The wireless light will still be flashing on the printer at this point, this is normal since this is not an actual adhoc connection.
Open an internet browser and load up the Embedded Web Server (EWS) by entering the IP address into the address bar. The default IP for autowireless is 192.168.223.1.
Go to the network tab along the top of the EWS.
Click on Wireless Setup Wizard along the left hand side to begin configuring the printer.
Once the printer is on the network, you can put your computer back on your own network and print again.
If for any reason this does not work, please let me know what operating system , and version you have? Mac or Windows?
If this does resolve the issue, please let me know by marking this post as "Accept as Solution". Thanks.

  • Deskjet 2540 all in one printer - does the scanning work with Mac OS Yosemite 10.10.1 ?

    I was trying to scan a document using this new printer and my Mac OS Yosemite 10.10.1 and I cannot even find the page that allows me to scan since now it is all through the computer.  Is this printer compatible with this operating system? and if so, what can I do to see the page where the file actually shows up to scan?
    thanks,
    Natali

  • Re: Deskjet 2540 All-In-One

    I have a gateway notebook with no cd/dvd capabilites.  I tried to download the drivers from your hp.com/ePrint/DJ2540 but seem to get nowhere.  It appears to download and gets to #2 then stopsl - and I can't print.  Where do I access the drivers for this priter?

    Hello there lcastor050, Welcome to the forums.
    I understand you are unable to download the drivers for your Deskjet 2540 as the installation stalls on you. I am going to post you a link to the drivers and software download page. You will need to select your operating system and then download the driver from there.

    If this doesn't work, please respond to me with your operating system and I will look into this some more for you.

  • Is it possible to connect HP DESKJET 1510 All-in-One series Wireless printer without USB cable?

    my mom recently bought me the HP DESKJET 1510 All-in-One series so i have an at home printer for school work. but when we bought it we did not know there was a certain USB that had to connect to the printer. so we bought the wrong one. now i have a project due and i cannot print. we have a small USB that fits it but its hard to connect it to the computer and printer because its so small. so if we can have it sent to the printer without the USB that would be perfect!

    Hi,
    No, in many cases printers won't come with USB cables. You need a cable which is similar to the following one:

  • Connecting HP Deskjet F4100 All-in-one to WRT400N

    I need to connect this printer to my network which has one desktop plus two laptops..Question is how do I do it? It is not wireless-ready..do i need to buy adapters, etc? That seems a bit much... The adapters are more then the cost of the printer itself  was..or am i missing a simple way of doing this?

    Well there are 2 options how you can share your printer on the Network.
    1: Enabling File and Printer Sharing on all your computer, and this will let you print from all the computers connected to your Router, But whenever you want to Print anything from other computer your desktop computer should be turned on always. 
    2: Buy WPSM54G, Its a Wireless Print Server. 
    To Enable File and Printer Sharing click Here. 

  • HP Deskjet 2540 All-in-One Printer

    Hello. I was wondering if anyone has used this printer on their Macbook OSX 10.9.1.?
    Or any other suggestions for compatible printers. I was bummed when I realized my Kodak wasn't compatible and now have to get another printer.
    My range of price for a printer would not be more than $80 so I'm hoping you guys can help me find a printer good enough. All I need it to do is to print documents and scan. Nothing more, nothing less.
    Pleae help me, thank you!

  • HP Deskjet 2540 All-in-One

    I accidentallly changed my permissions when setting up the wireless aspect of my printer and in the "Security" tab within properties i changed the tickboxes for "Everyone" to deny for all three options and i cannot access the properties or software to change this. I wish to know how gain access back into the properties while the printer is wireless or to be able to completely reset the printer to factory settings.
    Thank you.

    Hi mari136,
    I had searched high and low, there is evidently no full reset to restore the printer to a factory setting; however, I found a different reset we can try. Please complete the steps below.
        Press the Wireless button and the Cancel button from the printer control panel at the same time
        Hold them for 5 seconds.
        If the wireless button is no longer on, press the Wireless button from the printer control panel to turn it back on.
        Leave the printer on, and unplug the power cable for 1 minute, then plug the power back in.
    Now you can proceed with the wireless setup again. Please let me know if this helps.

    Hello lidixia,
    Welcome to the HP Forums.
    I see that you are having an issue when attempting to install the printer on to your computer and then printing any thing other than a test page.
    Please make sure that you have disabled any Windows Firewalls and any Anti Virus protection you may have running and then attempt to reinstall the software and drivers again.
    If the troubleshooting does not help resolve your issue, I would then suggest calling HP's Technical Support to see about further options for you. If you are calling within North America, the number is 1-800-474-6836 and for all other regions, : click here.
